Case Study: Portage Power achieves cost-efficient, scalable cloud access control with acre security

Safeguarding Canada’s green energy future with cutting-edge cloud access control

Portage Power, Canada’s largest Ontario-based municipally owned producer of green power, needed to modernize the security of its critical dam infrastructure. As part of a digital transformation effort, the company wanted to replace its legacy access control system with a cloud-based platform that could improve cost efficiency, scalability, compliance, remote access, and cybersecurity. acre security provided the access control solution.

acre security implemented a next-generation access control as a service (ACaaS) platform after conducting a gap analysis, rebuilding the access control database, and refining authorization attributes. The cloud migration delivered immediate improvements in security, compliance, and productivity, while reducing up-front costs, enabling remote access across Canada and the USA, and supporting future global expansion.
